Plumbing and drainage emergencies have a habit of happening at the worst possible time. A burst pipe, blocked drain, overflowing toilet or serious leak can quickly turn into a much bigger problem if it isn't dealt with promptly.
At We Fix We Build Kent Ltd, we understand how stressful a plumbing emergency can be. That's why our experienced team is available to help with urgent plumbing and drainage issues.
What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?
Not every plumbing problem needs immediate attention, but some issues should never be left to get worse.
Common plumbing and drainage emergencies include:
🚰 Burst or leaking pipes
💧 Serious water leaks
🚽 Overflowing or blocked toilets
🛁 Blocked baths and sinks
🌊 Blocked or overflowing drains
🔧 Loss of water supply
💦 Leaking tanks or plumbing systems
🏠 Water damage caused by a plumbing fault
Even a small leak can cause significant damage if it continues unnoticed. Water can damage flooring, walls, ceilings and furnishings, while persistent damp can create further problems within your property.
Why You Shouldn't Ignore a Blocked Drain
A slow-draining sink or bath might not seem like an emergency, but it can be an early warning sign of a developing blockage.
Ignoring drainage problems can result in:
Water backing up into your property
Unpleasant smells
Overflowing drains
Damage to pipes
Hygiene concerns
More expensive repairs further down the line
Getting the problem investigated early can often prevent a small issue from becoming a major one.
What Should You Do During a Plumbing Emergency?
If you discover a serious leak or burst pipe, try to turn off your property's main water supply if it is safe to do so. Move valuables and electrical items away from the affected area and avoid using water until the problem has been assessed.
Then, contact a qualified plumber as soon as possible.
Don't wait for a plumbing emergency to become a bigger and more expensive problem.
